Alan Shearer tears shreds out of ‘dreadful’ Newcastle players after Man City rout
“Whether so many players had one eye on the cup final or what, I don’t know. But they were all over the place today, they were dreadful. Manchester City, very good again.”
Presenter Gary Lineker quipped: “And you’ve been very grumpy all day.”
Newcastle will play Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final, which will take place on March 16. Successive 2-0 victories over Arsenal in a two-legged semi-final earned a trip to Wembley for the Toon Army.
Earlier this week, Howe stressed the need to concentrate on Premier League form in the meantime. However, his players did not heed that warning and were woeful at the Etihad Stadium.
Howe said afterwards: “It was a tough game, they are still the toughest team to play against. We were not at our best today.
